BEIRUT, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Thousands of Lebanese protesters chanting "Death to America, Death to Israel" marched through Beirut's Shi'ite southern suburbs on Monday in protest against a film made in the United States which mocks the Prophet Mohammad.

"America, hear us - don't insult our Prophet," chanted the marchers at the demonstration, called for by the leader of the Shi'ite Muslim group Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

The peaceful protest, which came after a weekend of violent demonstrations across Arab capitals in which several U.S. embassies were attacked, stayed well away from U.S. mission on the city's northeastern outskirts.

It followed a three-day visit to Lebanon by Pope Benedict who used his trip to call for reconciliation between Muslims and Christians.

On Friday, one person was killed in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli in protests against the film which depicts the prophet as a womaniser and homosexual.The U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, was killed last week in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi.

wonder if Nasrallah will have succeeded in upping the stakes on the trashy film. Salafis wont to be upstaged by him

Sept 17 (Reuters) - A Tunisian Salafist leader on Monday escaped from a mosque that had been surrounded by security forces seeking to arrest him over clashes at the U.S. embassy last week, a Reuters witness said.

Saif-Allah Benahssine, leader of the Tunisian branch of the hardline Islamist Ansar al-Sharia, slipped away after hundreds of his followers stormed out of al-Fatah mosque in Tunis, some of them wielding sticks and creating panic among pedestrians.

A few minutes earlier, around 1,000 riot and anti-terrorist police forces had retreated by some 200 metres (660 feet) from the mosque for unexplained reasons, witnesses said. Interior Ministry officials could not be reached for comment.
